1. Read All the Books by Jim Rohn

All of the books that we will ever need to make us as rich, as healthy, as happy, as powerful, as sophisticated and as successful as we want to be have already been written.

People from all walks of life, people with some of the most incredible life experiences, people that have gone from pennies to fortune and from failure to success have taken the time to write down their experiences so that we might share in their wealth of knowledge. They have offered their wisdom and experience so that we can be inspired by it and instructed by it, and so that we can amend our philosophy by it. Their contributions enable us to reset our sail based upon their experiences. They have handed us the gift of their insights so that we can change our plans, if need be, in order to avoid their errors. We can rearrange our lives based on their wise advice.

All of the insights that we might ever need have already been captured by others in books. The important question is this:  In the last ninety days, with this treasure of information that could change our lives, our fortunes, our relationships, our health, our children and our careers for the better, how many books have we read?

Why do we neglect to read the books that can change our lives? Why do we complain but remain the same? Why do so many of us curse the effect but nourish the cause? How do we explain the fact that only a small percent of our entire national population uses the library card they possess - a card that would give us access to all of the answers to success and happiness we could ever want? Those who wish for the better life cannot permit themselves to miss the books that could have a major impact on how their lives turn out. The book they miss will not help!

And the issue is not that books are too expensive! If a person concludes that the price of buying the book is too great, wait until he must pay the price for not buying it. Wait until he receives the bill for continued and prolonged ignorance.

There is very little difference between someone who cannot read and someone who will not read. The result of either is ignorance. Those who are serious seekers of personal development must remove the self-imposed limitations they have placed on their reading skills and their reading habits. There is a multitude of classes being taught on how to be a good reader and there are thousands of books on the shelves of the public libraries just waiting to be read. Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary. We must not permit anything to stand between us and the book that could change our lives.

A little reading each day will result in a wealth of valuable information in a very short period of time. But if we fail to set aside the time, if we fail to pick up the book, if we fail to exercise the discipline, then ignorance will quickly move in to fill the void.

Those who seek a better life must first become a better person. They must continually seek after self-mastery for the purpose of developing a balanced philosophy of life, and then live in accordance with the dictates of that philosophy. The habit of reading is a major stepping-stone in the development of a sound philosophical foundation. And in my opinion it is one of the fundamentals required for the attainment of success and happiness.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn

RESULTS

At the end of each day, you should play back the tapes of your performance. The results should either applaud you or prod you.

The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. This is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are big.

Life asks us to make measurable progress in reasonable time. That's why they make those fourth grade chairs so small – so you won't fit in them at age twenty-five!

There are some things you don't have to know how it works - only that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit. It just depends on which end of this you want to get in on.

Vitamins for the Mind is a weekly sampling of original quotes, on a specific topic, taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn (TTOQ). TTOQ, a beautiful, burgundy hardbound book with gold foil lettering, is a collection of over 365 quotes on 60 topics gathered from Jim's personal journals, seminars and books spanning over 39 years. To order the TTOQ by Jim Rohn or Excerpts from TTOQ by Jim Rohn or Brian Tracy, please go to Jim Rohn's Online Catalog

3. The Exciting Thrill of Work by Paul J. Meyer

Work is PURE JOY!

Work polishes silver and gold . . .it refines character.
Work rows "Life's Boat" upstream.
Work weeds the garden and the mind,
Work lifts weights and spirits,
Work overcomes adversity and defeat,
Work is an exciting thrill!
Work is the action in motivation.
Work is the breath of life.
Work is the reward for being alive.
Work mines coal from the earth and uncovers diamonds!
Work moves the wings that put the eagles high in the air.
Work brings reality to the dreams of inventors.
Work - intelligent work - has made America the most prosperous nation in the world.
Work, when applied toward a meaningful goal, develops human potential.

It is work that has:

Bridged the chasms . . .
Tunneled the mountains . . .
Placed the giant communication cables on the bottom of the sea . . .
Built highways over plains and deserts...
Lifted space ships to the moon . . .
Built our factories . . .
Erected our schools and hospitals, and . . .
Made the scientific discoveries that have made our lives easier and happier.

Work is a way of putting your stamp on what you do - it is your personality - your own uniqueness.

The inspiration created by your work breathes your spirit into each hour of the day.

Only through your work can you contribute to human progress.

James W. Elliott said, "Work is life, and good work is good life."

Work is love in action.

Work, supported by a healthy self-image and a positive mental attitude, multiplies all future achievement.

-- Paul J. Meyer

"Women have an incredible ability to pick up on emotional signals. For example, there are some wolves that are so clever they have learned to dress up like sheep. Man says, 'Looks like a sheep. Talks like a sheep.' Woman says, 'Ain't no sheep!'" Jim Rohn

Here are some of the dozens of testimonials and comments we received over the past week from E-zine subscribers. To read more recent testimonials and the hundreds we have received from readers over the years, please go to Customer Testimonials

I just recently heard of Jim Rohn's medical situation-I had the pleasure and good fortune of going to a seminar of his in Chicago a number of years ago-during his break myself & two other attendees went up to talk with him-the other two left in a moment, and he spent the next 10 minutes giving me his undivided attention & counsel-what surprised me was his thoughtfulness and no one else was around it was just "Jim & me" sharing-I speak of him often and probably bore my wife and daughter with his philosophy of business and life- my prayers go out to him and if there was something I could do-I would. God bless. just a fan,
-- Bart

I would like to thank you for being such an articulate speaker and like to tell you that you mesmerize me with your each word and impress me with each thought. By just listening to you I charged myself at many occasions and got the desired results. I pray for your health, success and prosperity. May Allah(God) help you reach out to many more millions and change their lives.
-- Hafeez

Wish why the good things come so late and so far spaced. Why did I not read you ,earlier and how bad! Great, I love your words, your expression and your thoughts. Indeed super excellent ,if I could put that word in the Webster Dictionary!
-- Gurprit

I would like to pass on my thanks, as I have just listened to your book on Goal Setting and found it so informative and inspirational. I am a Paralympic athlete going to Beijing and just starting out in the speaking world. You have inspired me to do something I have never done before. Thinking about my goals is something I took for granted and never spent any time on. I will now think more about this and follow your planning strategy in the future.
Ian

Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and appreciation you sent us this week! -- JRI
